Day + 46 -Bad Night, Good Day + Emma visits-UPDATE

Deb had a rough night and I was worried all night about the sudden downward move. About 6 am the nurse awakened Deb for pills. Deb was her normal cheery self! I was so excited!!!

Last night Deb was extremely feeble and talked out loud the whole night! She was also feeble-minded and said a lot of crazy talk. That's a little freaky when you are trying to sleep yourself. Deb is normally very sharp with a keen sense of humor.

Seems like she got a whole Ambien at bedtime plus another drug that did not play well with Deb. How do you spell relief? 1/2 Ambien next time!

Today will be a multi-post day. Look for the Update in the title line.

Be sure to check in on Friday for a special edition!


Emma Ross flew in for a visit. She has a hospital clown ministry. You can find her in 2010 in her getup as Dr Feel Good


 

Blessings! 





Check back later




Platelets -(Normal range 150-500) a whitish colored component of blood. Low platelets=higher Woozy factor!
CRP -(Normal range = 0.0-10) An indicator of relative health. Lower is better. When the number creeps up, Deb could be getting sick.
